he imports them and the price he gets them for is less than half what he asks for his stupid prices...
and his speed claims are way out in left field! [:-]

I have no experance with gfreak boats but I have 2 v hulls with their stage 4 and 4 ESC and they are monsters faster than any others I have tried I is a 27 inch glass hull out of some version of China nice litttle glass v hull I run it with a made up 6 lipo cell 10,000 mha battery (neat trick you can split them up put 3 cells on each side of the boat with a cooling plate between each power plate) anyway with a 3 inch stinger and a 4 blade 3 inch prop (1/2 in the water) it runs 67 by a Bosch radar gun I don't know how long it will last because that is pulling the rpm at about 80% of the kv by the transmitter telementry it is wild though it will push itself across the floor just by the air from the prop not fast but moves. I will let you know when I kill one of them BTW if you make them an offer for a motor or speed control they will often times take it
